The DISC Personality Report

In-depth but accessible, Discus provides the ultimate in DISC reporting

Discus provides some of the most advanced, wide-ranging personality profile reports available anywhere, with each report completely tailored to the specifics of a person's profile.

The unique advantage of a Discus report is the way that its content is put together. While many DISC reports simply break down profiles into a handful of types, Discus is different: it includes a powerful reporting system that can describes a person's profile in detail, using plain language to cover numerous different business topics.

Reports are available at various levels to suit your needs, with the top-level Enhanced report running to some eighty pages or more, depending on the details of a profile. Discus offers a whole range of other reporting features, too, including the option to add your own branding to a report.

As you'd expect of a DISC profile report, we start with the DISC profiles themselves. We do more than just show the profiles, but give a breakdown of each factor in each profile, explaining how it contributes to a person's overall behaviour and working style. There's plenty more graphical content, too, including Style Cards that summarise a person's behaviour in contexts like leading and learning, a Trait Grid showing how a person's approach might change over time, and a Profile Tension section to looking at potential sources of stress.

At the heart of a set of Discus DISC results is the Textual Report, explaining a personality in terms of up to twenty-one different business topics.

Relationship Keynotes

An overview of the ways the candidate interacts with other personality types.

Job Match Analysis

Glossary of Terms

Each part of the Textual Report is crafted from a database of commentary that's matched to the exact details of a personality style, which can combine in literally millions of different possible ways. The report covers broad topics such as motivation and decision making, as well as performance in specific types of roles such as management or sales. Also included is a set of behavioural questions, so the DISC report can help you to design a customised interview.

There's more to the Discus report, too, including a look at the ways a person is likely to relate to others, and a full appendix covering any technical terms used in the main report. You can also add an optional Job Match, tying the report in to a particular role, and rating the personality against the needs of that job.
